Moose135 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 I like that new one, @bilgistic. They had a whole series of commercials, over several years, featuring Mr. Jenkins and Bobby! one of the technicians, sitting in the truck at night, waiting for a call. They would usually end with them driving off, with Bobby saying "Buckle your seat belt, Mr. Jenkins." I always got an "aging serial killer and his young protege hunting their next victim" vibe from them, probably not what they were after... 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12454-homespun-marketing-local-commercials/page/3/#findComment-4223756
bilgistic April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 I hate the commercials with Mr. Jenkins and "Bobby". They make me vaguely uncomfortable for some reason--probably because they are serial killers.

funky-rat March 13, 2019 Share March 13, 2019 There's a commercial that I see ever day at least twice for this car lot that isn't really local to where I live, but they have a lot of billboards in my area, and people I know do drive there to get cars because they're a huge dealership, and they claim to do better deals than anyone else. I tried dealing with them once, and they laughed at me that I was looking for a car under $10,000 for my husband, so they burned any goodwill with me. The woman in their commercial over-annunciates everything. Ford becomes "Fo-Ward". She pronounces the somewhat silent "d" in "Dodge" (Dod-juh). They talk about their dual pick-ups, and it comes out "Doo-elly Die-zels". I just want to chuck something through the TV. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12454-homespun-marketing-local-commercials/page/3/#findComment-5124614
Browncoat April 25, 2019 Share April 25, 2019 I think this is a local ad -- I can't find it anywhere online, which makes me sad, because I'd love to share it. It makes me laugh every single time. It's for a furniture company, and there are two women sitting on a sofa, chatting about the furniture. Meanwhile, in the background, three kids are running around and around a wall/partition, through a doorway, and yelling. One of the women calmly gets up, walks over to the wall/partition, and slides a large wooden shelving unit in front of the doorway. The next thing you hear is a thump, and things fall off the shelves. I know I am evil for laughing, but I can't help it. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12454-homespun-marketing-local-commercials/page/3/#findComment-5239114
